You guys realize that Glennon's agent is probably behind all those leaks. After what happened with Brock this offseason, no GM is going to put himself in the position for at least a couple more years.

I'm not assuming competence. I'm assuming limited cap space for teams and that media leaks should not be trusted when they are so clearly insane.

a patagonian cavy posted:lemme whisper in your ear brock osweiler got $37 million guaranteed Yeah and as has been repeatedly stated, it was a once in a generation contract for a relatively unknown commodity at quarterback that blew up in the Texans face. Teams tend to do things the same way they always do them and most organizations are risk averse because of fear of tying their job to one dumb mistake that can cost you your job. I wonder if Smith feels as comfortable making that Brock deal if he isn't so tight with the owner. All I am saying is that number is clearly being leaked by Glennon's camp, just like the numbers on his career being tweeted by Ian Kenyon are being pushed by the teams trying to sign him. It's negotiations through the media and focusing on an outlier as opposed to normal signing trends is silly, even if it is more fun to overreact to it. I could absolutely see the Bears signing him for $15mil a year, but they won't tie themselves to more than one year of him. That is the one thing about Pace contracts his first two years as GM -- he pushes most of the guaranteed money up front so they are not tied down.

a patagonian cavy posted:overpaying for QBs has happened before the Brock signing and will continue to happen. Matt Stafford got $41m guaranteed before playing a single snap, though that was before rookie contracts got reworked and it was worth it. Dumb GMs will refuse to have coaches sign off on FA acquisitions, convince themselves that THIS is the guy to take them all the way, pitchfork some money into a truck to be driven to that person's house, and we will continue to sup from the well of comedy The Stafford contract is a bad example, because that was under the old collective bargaining agreement, where teams were essentially forced to spend that money on the number one overall pick. And by your logic, #1 overall pick Sam Bradford was worth every penny of his rookie contract.  And I am not saying someone isn't going to fall in love or overpay. I'm just saying that we shouldn't use a statistical anomaly as a frame of reference. Chichevache posted:Do you think it is possible you might be jumping the gun by declaring this is "a once in a generation contract" before even a single year has passed since it was signed? Absolutely. I could be very wrong and Rick Smith was the harbinger of a new generation of front office ineptitude. We could bear witness to a glorious new utopia of sports related comedy. I just need it to happen more than once to believe it.

The way I see it, just one more year of Fox and then we should have a real coach. Also, gently caress you bitch-rear end quitters. There is no way this is the hardest stretch of Bears football you've experienced. Were none of you around for Wanny?

I mean, I get that it's been a meh kind of run, but I'm not sure we have been so bad for so long all as to merit such despair. sean10mm posted:I'm pretty sure you need to jump straight to 80+ proof for breakfast to get that perfectly pink bloated look. For all the poo poo we give Washington, it is hard to fault them keeping him away from operations if he is clearly off the wagon. (Or is it on the wagon? I always get those confused.) What is curious is when they found out? Because shouldn't they have been moving to get a new GM in place before free agency and the draft began? It appears they had plenty of time.

Two firsts for a franchise quarterback that young was a no brainer. Now if only he'd been a franchise quarterback....

Amy Pole Her posted:While you clearly haven't watched Smith and Jeffrey outside of madden for 2+ years To be fair, Jeffery made a difference when he was on the field last year. He had some good games and forced teams to roll coverages his way..... when he was healthy/on the field. Not SAS flowcharting here, because I think he's awesome and wish he were back. But he did miss a lot of time. Pops Mgee posted:Ted Ginn is the Squirrel Girl of the nfl. Quoted for truth

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:It doesnt matter who the RB is because the OLine is absolute trash. Probably the second worst behind the Seahawks, or at a minimum bottom 5. Yeldon has shown some flashes but has mostly been mediocre, and he gets injured often. I like Ivory but I think his style works better when he has a functional OL. But there isn't an offensive lineman worth a top five pick. Fournette arguably is. You already have a lot invested in your defense and receiving corp, so there is a logic to grabbing him.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I agree with your first sentence. I think there are better players to draft at 4 though. I really like Solomon Thomas and an argument could be made for other players that will be available at that spot. I actually think Thomas makes a lot more sense, even if Fowler ends up panning out. It's not like you can ever have too many edge rushers. I'm just saying that Fournette wouldn't be that crazy a pick for them. John Brown posted:This is what folks said about Zeke, and before you mention Jordan Howard, I'm pretty sure the former will be around for much longer. Hopefully the Cowboys situation can make NFL execs realize that an all-pro RB can make life much easier for grooming a young QB. Honestly, I don't understand why Howard fell as far as he did. He was projected consistently as a top five running back. I'm not convinced Zeke is that much better than Howard. Howard did as much as Zeke with a lot less to work with. Hell, you could argue he did more.

Grittybeard posted:This works better if you have a recently dominant or at least very good team. I'd advise you to check out the Kawalimus system where you insult everyone's intelligence by claiming everything about your team is the worst ever in a transparent attempt to get attention, although you might have to find an obscure hobby to make people like you. The Kawalimus system is a lot harder to pull off as a Bills fan, when everything about your team may in fact be the worst.
